Core42 Compass

Core42 is the G42 company that runs the UAE Sovereign Public Cloud and the Compass AI platform, which gives enterprises and government bodies access to more than fifty models, including the Jais Arabic family, OpenAI models and open-weight models, behind one control plane. Core42's product page states that data is hosted in the UAE through Azure regional infrastructure and that all data remains strictly within UAE borders, which makes it the clearest sovereign-cloud offer in the Gulf today, but a UAE one: a Saudi controller using it is still transferring personal data outside the Kingdom and needs a legal basis under Article 29 of the PDPL and the Transfer Regulation, since no adequacy list has been published. It belongs in a Saudi comparison as the reference for what a documented sovereign offer looks like, and as the platform most likely to host OpenAI capacity from the Stargate UAE campus. Pricing is on request.
